Zvauchaitirwa neShoko raMwari (Chikamu 4)

MuTsamba Dzedu Dzekudzidzisa mumwedzi mishoma yapfuura, tave tichibatanidzwa muzvikamu zvitanhatu zvakatevedzana zvine musoro unoti, “Zvauchaitirwa neShoko raMwari.” Mumwe nomumwe wedu anogona kupa uchapupu hwetapuro inokosha iyo Bhaibheri rakaita muupenyu hwedu maererano nemisoro yatakurukura kusvika zvino: Shoko raMwari Ibenyu; Kuuya Kunoita Kutenda; Kuberekwa Kutsva.

Muchikamu chedu chakapfuura, takadzidza kuti Shoko raMwari rinogona sei kuunza mune mumwe nemumwe wedu chishamiso chikuru chingamboitwa nemunhu chero upi zvake—kuberekwa patsva.

Mudzidziso iyoyo, ndakatsanangura kuti Shoko raMwari rakaita sei sembeu. Kana tichigamuchira iyi mbeu isingaori mumwoyo yedu nokutenda, Mweya Mutsvene unoburitsa kubva kumbeu iyi hupenyu hutsva zvachose. Hunhu hworudzi rutsva irworwo rwoupenyu hwakafanana chaizvo nembeu yainomera: upenyu husingaori, husingagumi uye hwoumwari. Hupenyu uhu hunobva mumbeu, chokwadi, ndihwo hupenyu nehunhu hwaJesu pachake — Uyo ari Shoko raMwari benyu.

Izwi Sechikafu

Mhedziso dzatinotora kubva muchokwadi ichi—chokuti Shoko imbeu inobereka upenyu—zvinoita kuti tifunge nezvemugumisiro mukuru unotevera weShoko raMwari patiri. Ndeupi mugumisiro unotevera? Shoko raMwari richatipa zvokudya zvomudzimu zvakakodzera kuti titsigire uye tisimbise upenyu hutsva hwatakagamuchira kuburikidza nokuzvarwa patsva.

Kana chisikwa chipenyu chazvarwa munyika, chimwe chezvachinoda zvekutanga uye zvekukurumidzira kudya—kuburikidza nekudya kwakafanira. Funga nezvomuenzaniso womwana womunhu. Mucheche angauya munyika somunhu akanaka, ane utano hwakanaka—akakwana muzvinhu zvose. Zvisinei, kana mwana akanaka iyeye akasakurumidza kugamuchira zvokudya zvakakodzera, haasati achizokura bedzi—asi achafa chaizvoizvo. Uyezve, zvokudya zvomucheche zvinotsamira padanho ripi rokukura kwaanenge ari. Kana mwana achangoberekwa, anoda mukaka—rudzi runokosha zvikuru rwezvokudya. Panhanho imwe neimwe inotevedzana youpenyu, zvokudya zvinogona kuitwa nomucheche zvinoramba zvichichinja kutozosvikira zvasvika padanho rokuda zvokudya zvakasimba.

Shoko raMwari rakafanana nezvokudya zvinodiwa nemwana. Ndicho chikafu chakapihwa naMwari kuti chitsigire nekusimbisa hupenyu hutsva hunouya matiri patinozvarwa patsva.

Ona kuti Shoko raMwari rinoshamisa sei! Haisi mbeu bedzi inobereka kuberekwa patsva—asi zvokudya zvinosimbisa upenyu hunomera matiri nokuberekwa patsva. Zvokudya zvakapiwa naMwari kubudikidza neShoko rake zvakangofanana nezvokudya zvinodiwa nomwana womunhu. Yakanyatsokodzera nhanho imwe neimwe inotevedzana yokukura kwedu mumudzimu.

Mukaka wekutanga

Sekutaura kwatakaita, kumwana, rudzi rwekutanga rwekudya runodiwa mukaka. Izvi ndizvo chaizvo zvinopiwa neShoko raMwari. Muchidzidzo chedu chekupedzisira, tichitaura nezvekuzvarwa patsva, ndakanokora mashoko 1 Petro 1:23 :

“Nokuti makaberekwa patsva, kwete nembeu inoora, asi isingaori, neshoko raMwari benyu uye rinogara nokusingaperi.”

Mavhesi mashoma gare gare—mukutanga kwechitsauko chinotevera—Petro anoenderera mberi achibata nemubvunzo wekudyisa uyu:

“Naizvozvo, bvisai uipi hwose nokunyengera kwose nokunyengera kwose negodo nokunyomba kwose, savacheche vachangoberekwa, pangai mukaka usina kuchena weshoko, kuti mukure nawo muve ruponeso, kana makaravira. unyoro hwaJehovha.” ( 1 Petro 2:1-3 )

Ndinoonga chokwadi chokuti Petro anoshandisa shoko rokuti “ravira” pano achireva nzira iyo Mwari anouya nayo kwatiri. Patinoravira chimwe chinhu, tinochipinza matiri; inova chikamu chedu. Funga nezvazvo. Tinogona kuona, kubata, kana kunzwa chimwe chinhu pasina kuti chava chikamu chedu. Zvisinei, patinoravira chimwe chinhu, chinova chikamu chedu.

Ndiyo nzira iyo Mwari anoda kuuya nayo muhupenyu hwedu. Haadi kuramba ari kunze sechimwe chinhu chokunze. Pane kudaro, Anoda kuuya matiri chaimo. Anoda kuva chikamu chedu. Uye izvi anozviita kubudikidza neShoko rake.

Saka padanho rekutanga rekukura kwedu pakunamata, Shoko raMwari rine mukaka wakachena uchaita kuti tikure. Zvisinei, tinofanirawo kuyeuka nyevero yatinopiwa mundima 1 ya1 Petro 2. Sezvatinoziva tose, mukaka unokora nyore nyore. Mamiriro ezvinhu asina kunaka anogona kukonzera kukanganisika kwakadaro. Somuenzaniso, kana mubhodhoro romukaka romucheche muine utachiona, kana kuti asidhi mudumbu make, mukaka unomonereka—uye hauzoiti zvakanaka mucheche.

Petro anotinyevera nezvezvinhu zvichamisa mukaka weShoko raMwari, zvichiita kuti ushaye basa kwatiri. Anoti tinofanira kusiya zvinhu zvishanu: uipi, unyengeri, unyengeri, godo, uye kuchera. Sezvaunotendeukira kuShoko raMwari nokuda kwomukaka unodiwa kukusimbisa uye kuva noutano hwakanaka, yeuka kusachengeta mumwoyo mako zvipi nezvipi zvipi nezvipi zvinoumba mukaka weShoko wakagwinya. Bvisa uipi, unyengeri, unyengeri, godo, uye kuchera

Kuenda Kuchingwa

Chii chinozotevera mushure mekunge tadya mukaka? Tinoenda pachingwa kana zviyo. Nenzira inoshamisa, Shoko raMwari rinogoverawo rudzi irworwo rwezvokudya. Muna Mateo 4:4 , Jesu akati:

“Kwakanyorwa kuchinzi, ‘Munhu haangararami nechingwa chete, asi neshoko rimwe nerimwe rinobuda mumuromo maMwari.’”

Sezvinoita chingwa chinovaka muviri kwatiri muchimiro chechisikigo, tinoona kuti Shoko raMwari riri kutipa chikafu mukunamata. Jesu anotiudza kuti tinofanira kurarama nechingwa ichocho cheShoko raMwari.

MuchiGiriki chepakutanga, ndima iyi inoti “shoko rimwe nerimwe sezvarinobuda mumuromo maMwari.” Mupfungwa yaro, mashoko aya anoreva ukama hunopfuurira, hunopfuurira naMwari. Inotaura nezvemamiriro ezvinhu apo tinenge tiri pedyo naYe zvokuti—sezvo Shoko rinobuda mumuromo maKe—tinorigamuchira. Ngatiyeukeiwo kuti Jesu anoti "shoko rose" mundima iyi. Izvi zvinosanganisira Magwaro ese. Hatigoni kungorarama nedikidiki reMagwaro pano nepapo. Tinofanira kujairana neBhaibheri rose.

Timoti Wechipiri 3:16 inoti:

“Rugwaro rwose rwakafuridzirwa naMwari nokudzidzisa kunobatsira, pakutsiura, pakururamisa, pakuranga nokururama...”

Saka ziva kuti kana uchizokura, unofanira kujairana neBhaibheri rako rose—kwete chete Evhangeri ina kana kuti chikamu chimwe chete kana zviviri zveMapisarema. Unofanira kujairana nemabhuku anoshamisa akadai saZekaria, Ezekieri, uye Maraki. Tsvaga kuti mabhuku aya ari kupi uye dzidza zvaanotaura. Yeuka kuti mavari uchawana kudya uye simba zvaunoda kuti uchinje kuva muKristu waunofanira kuva.

Kudya Kwakasimba Kwenyama

Kusvika pari zvino, tataura nezvechokwadi chokuti Shoko raMwari rinogovera zvose zviri zviviri mukaka nechingwa. Asi tinoziva, chokwadika, kuti chingwa nomukaka zvoga hazvigadziri zvokudya zvine mwero. Zvokudya zviviri izvozvo zvoga hazviumbe kudya kwakakwana. Mhando yezvokudya zvatichaongorora iye zvino izvokudya zvikukutu. Tichaona kuti Rugwaro runotiudzei nezvebasa rezvokudya zvikukutu mukudya kwedu kwese. Ngatitange nendima inowanikwa muna VaHebheru 5:12–14:

Tapota onai kuti zvinobvira kuita sevaKristu ava vari kutaurwa nemunyori webhuku raVaHebheru. Chaizvoizvo, ari kuvaudza kuti, “Maifanira kunge makura zvino. Unofanira kugona kubata chikafu chikukutu. Asi chokwadi chenyaya ndechekuti, uchiri kurarama sevana vacheche. Unogona chete kutora zvikamu zvishoma zveMagwaro pano nepapo. Hausati wanyatsokura.”

Mukutaura pamusoro pemamiriro ezvinhu epamweya aya, munyori webhuku raVaHebheru anotsanangura danho rinokosha kune maKristu ese anoda kukura. Paanotaura kuti “zvokudya zvikukutu ndezvevakuru,” anozozvitevera nemashoko aya: “…vane simba rokuziva vakarovedzwa kuzivisisa zvakanaka nezvakaipa.” ( ndima 14, NAS) Kukura kunoda kudzidzira. Unofanira kudzidzisa pfungwa dzako dzepamweya. Iwe unofanirwa kuve unonzwisisa. Unofanira kukwanisa kuziva musiyano pakati pechakanaka nechakaipa.

Kune vamwe maKristu vanoti “Ameni” kune chero muparidzi anoshevedzera zvinonzwika. Vamwe vanhu vanofunga nezvenhoroondo dzakadaro sechiratidzo chekunamata. Ini pachangu, handiti “Ameni” kunze kwekunge ndichibvumirana nezviri kutaurwa nemuparidzi. Hazvinei kuti ari kushandisa volume yakareba sei, ndinongoti “Ameni” kana mashoko ake achienderana neShoko raMwari. Ndakaedza nepandinogona napo kudzidzisa pfungwa dzangu. Ndakadzidzira. Ndagara muShoko raMwari kwemakore akawanda. Saka handisi kunyengedzwa zviri nyore.

Nenyasha dzaMwari, ndinogona kupupura kuti ndakapfuura kurarama nemukaka kana nechingwa. Ndinokwanisa kubata zvokudya zvikukutu zveShoko raMwari—kwete nemhaka yokuti ndiri mumwe munhu anokosha, asi nemhaka yokuti ndaita zvinodikanwa zvaMwari. Ndakadzidzira. Ndakadzidzisa pfungwa dzangu. Ndakararama muBhaibheri, uye ndakafamba muBhaibheri. Ndakaridzidza, ndakarinyengeterera, uye ndakariudzawo vamwe. Shoko raMwari rakava zvokudya zvikukutu mandiri.

Mushure mekunge ndawana nzira iyi yekukura, ndinofanira kutaura—zvinosuruvarisa—kuti pane imwe nzira. Maiwe, inzira inosuwisa zvikuru. Kana mwana mudiki azvarwa munyika, tinoti, “Akanaka sei! Zvinotapira sei!” Tinoda nzira dzayo dzevacheche. Tinoda macoos ayo madiki uye gurgles. Hatitarisiri kuti ikwanise kutaura kana kuita zvisarudzo zvine musoro kana kugadzirisa nyaya dzeupenyu.

Nekuti irusvava—uye nekuti rwakanaka uye runodiwa—tinogamuchira maitiro emwana wacho. Asi ngatitii mucheche iyeye aizoramba ari mumamiriro ezvinhu akadaro gore negore. Chii chaiyevedza uye chaidiwa mwana paaiva mucheche chinova nenhamo kana mwana akaramba akadaro. Tingati budiriro yakasungwa kana kuti yakarebeswa.

Nehurombo, tinoona dambudziko iri rekusungwa kuri kuitika muhupenyu hwemaKristu mazhinji. Vave vari vaKristu kwemakore, asi vachiri kurarama nemukaka. Vachiri vacheche. Havakwanisi kusiyanisa zvakanaka nezvakaipa. Havana kudzidzisa pfungwa dzavo. Somuuyo wokushaikwa kwetsika yokuzvibata, ivo vanyajambwa vari nyore kuvanyengeri. Vanotsauswa nyore nyore nevanhu vanouya vachishandisa mutauro wechitendero une ruzha rukuru, kana kuti nevaparidzi vanoshevedzera vari pachikuva, asi vane shoko risingaenderani neMagwaro.

Ndinoda kuti uwane mufananidzo mupfungwa dzako werudzi urwu rwemucheche-uye ndinoda kuti unzwisise kuti mufananidzo iwoyo une njodzi sei. Tinoona mushonga wemufananidzo unosiririsa muna VaEfeso 4:14. Ndima iyoyo isati yasvika, Pauro anga achitaura nezvokuda kwedu kubvuma kurangwa neShoko raMwari uye nevashumiri vaMwari. Anga achiratidza kukosha kwekuti isu tive nhengo inoshanda yemuviri waKristu. Pauro anoti kana tikazadzisa zvimiro izvi, hatizove vacheche, tichikandwa mberi nekudzoka nemasaisai. Hatichazopepereswizve pano neapo nemhepo yose yedzidziso, kana nemanomano evanhu nemanomano avo ekunyengera.

Mumhedziso, kana usingadi kugara uri mucheche—wakakandirwa uku neuko, uchigara wakavhurika kunyengedzwa, uye usingambowani kugadzikana kana kukura—unofanira kurarama nezvokudya zveShoko raMwari. Unotanga nemukaka woenda kuchingwa. Asi tapota iva nechokwadi chokuti pakupedzisira, unofambira mberi kusvika kuzvokudya zvikukutu zveShoko raMwari.

Unoona here kuda kwako kuti uenderere mberi mukuita uku? Kana zvakadaro, wadii kutaura chido ichocho nemunyengetero unotevera sezvatinopedzisa chikamu chino?
